Suspended In Whiteness
Lunatic Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon after the awakening
I flew up in the air
I was a snowflake floating
Through my heavenland
As light as a feather
An ash
From the white desert
And the misplaced time
I really need to find
I was a drop of water
From the pool of life
Since my burden's gone
I am the calm inside
This heaven makes me light
b) Don't Feel Alive
The sudden flashback stirs in my head
I see the boat
I see the ferryman
Recall my choice
Recall the words he said
So where the heaven am I now?
Where the heaven am I?
I don't feel alive
I don't feel alive
I feel nothing
My lips are tightly sealed
My mind is blank
And every part of me is paralyzed
The scattered bits of my consciousness
Are suspended in the whiteness
Another stage of my path
I don't feel alive
I don't feel alive
I feel nothing
The song "Suspended In Whiteness" from Lunatic Soul starts with the imagery of waking up from a dream and taking flight. The singer describes themselves as a snowflake, weightless and unburdened, floating through their heavenland. The white desert and misplaced time serve as a backdrop to the singer's search for something they need to find. The second verse continues with the metaphorical imagery of water, calling back to the pool of life. The singer is free now, their burden gone, and they've found peace in this heaven, feeling light and weightless.
The second half of the song "Suspended In Whiteness" takes on a darker turn. The singer recalls a choice they made and the words of the ferryman. They wonder where they are now and why they don't feel alive. The lyric "I feel nothing" is repeated twice, emphasizing the struggle to feel anything at all. The last lines describe the singer's consciousness being scattered and suspended in whiteness, like they've reached another stage in their journey. The song's theme around life, death, and the beyond can be interpreted in several ways. It's possible that the singer is experiencing an out-of-body journey, or perhaps they've passed on and are reflecting on their life and choices.
Line by Line Meaning
Soon after the awakening
Shortly after becoming aware
I flew up in the air
I experienced a feeling of weightlessness
I was a snowflake floating
I felt small and delicate, drifting aimlessly
Through my heavenland
In a peaceful and idyllic setting
As light as a feather
Feeling weightless and unburdened
An ash
Like a fine dust particle
Like a grain of sand
Small and insignificant
From the white desert
In a barren and undisturbed landscape
And the misplaced time
In a time and place that doesn't feel right
I really need to find
A sense of direction and purpose
I was a drop of water
A small and impermanent part of the larger whole
From the pool of life
Originating from the source of all existence
Since my burden's gone
Free from the weight of past struggles
I am the calm inside
A sense of peace and tranquility
This heaven makes me light
The feeling of being weightless and free
The sudden flashback stirs in my head
A vivid memory that resurfaces abruptly
I see the boat
Visualizing a journey or transition
I see the ferryman
The guide or mediator of that journey
Recall my choice
Remembering a decision that led to this point
Recall the words he said
Recalling advice or guidance given by the guide
So where the heaven am I now?
Questioning one's current state of being and purpose
Where the heaven am I?
Feeling lost or disconnected from the world
My lips are tightly sealed
Keeping thoughts and emotions hidden
My mind is blank
Unfocused and unsettled
And every part of me is paralyzed
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward
The scattered bits of my consciousness
Fragmented and disconnected thoughts and emotions
Are suspended in the whiteness
Existing in a state of emptiness and uncertainty
Another stage of my path
One step further in the journey of self-discovery
I don't feel alive
A sense of detachment and purposelessness
I feel nothing
Emotionally and spiritually numb
